Black Screen of Death everytime I try to log in

I followed this completely, reinstalled tons of times, I really want to play but after two hours of straight work trying to get it to work, I'm ready to hang in my towel. I tried other methods listed in threads and followed some other videos but nothing works.

Well i know i had a few problems with crashing and the like.
What I did was
1. back-up all of my files from the saves folder into another folder
2. delete and reinstall minecraft
3. backup minecraft.jar
4.put copies of my saves into the new saves folder
5 installed the mods in the following order
a.modloader
b.audiomod
c. Shockapi
d. Aether

Then added in TMI and SPC and deleted META-INF.
I am having no problems with the mod now.

Have you ever installed a mod that required putting a .zip into the "mods" folder in .minecraft?

I know I had some in there that prevented me from getting it working. Probably wouldn't have ever figured it out if I hadn't launched minecraft from the command line lol
